Yes. What information is on the council website about the developers' planning application? I'll bet it includes a site investigation to look for any contamination, details of the JK they found, and the planning condition requiring the developers to remediate it. All freely available to those who bother looking for it.frullani said:

To be fair a plant can be "invasive" in some places and not in others.
